Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lighting device, a display device, and a television receiver.
- a liquid crystal panel used in a liquid crystal display device such as a liquid crystal television does not emit light, and thus requires a separate backlight device as an illumination device.
- This backlight device is installed on the back side of the liquid crystal panel (opposite to the display surface), and has a chassis with an open surface on the liquid crystal panel side and a number of cold cathodes accommodated in the chassis. Power supply to each cold cathode tube, and multiple optical members (diffusion sheets, etc.) for efficiently emitting light emitted from the cold cathode tube placed on the opening of the tube to the liquid crystal panel side Inverter board.

- the back side of the chassis is not limited to a flat shape, and there are not only irregularities, but various chip parts are mounted on the surface of the inverter board facing the chassis.
- the present invention has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to prevent damage associated with assembly.
- An illumination device of the present invention includes a light source, a chassis that houses the light source, a power supply board that is disposed on the opposite side of the chassis from the light source, and that supplies driving power to the light source, and the chassis And a relay connector that relays power supply between the power supply board and the light source, and the power supply board is inserted into the relay connector at a non-insertion position separated from the relay connector.
- the insertion position is movable in a direction along the plate surface of the power supply board, and the power supply board in the non-insertion position with respect to the chassis is inserted into the relay connector.
- a positioning structure capable of positioning in at least one of a first direction along the direction and a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction is provided.
- the power supply board in the non-insertion position is positioned in the first direction or the second direction along the plate surface of the power supply board with respect to the chassis by the positioning structure. Therefore, when the power supply board is arranged at the non-insertion position, in a state where it is arranged, or when moved from the non-insertion position to the insertion position, various components mounted on the power supply board interfere with the structure on the chassis side. Can be avoided.
- the positioning structure includes a first positioning structure that positions the power supply board in a first direction along an insertion direction of the power supply board with respect to the relay connector. If it does in this way, the power supply board made into the non-insertion position can be positioned about the 1st direction along the insertion direction of a power supply board.

- the power supply board is allowed to move within a clearance range held between the first positioning protrusion and the first positioning recess.
- the first positioning convex portion and the first positioning concave portion are formed such that rear end portions in the insertion direction come into contact with each other when the power supply board is in the insertion position. In this way, when the power supply board is moved from the non-insertion position to the insertion position, the power supply board can be prevented from being displaced forward in the insertion direction with respect to the chassis.
- the first positioning convex portion is disposed on the chassis side, and the first positioning concave portion is disposed on the power supply board side. In this way, if the first positioning projection is to be provided on the power supply board side, a positioning structure can be provided on the power supply board at a lower cost than when a special design is required. it can.

- the substrate pressing portion is configured to protrude rearward from the first positioning convex portion in the insertion direction. In this way, if the board pressing part protrudes from the first positioning convex part along the plate surface of the power supply board and in a direction intersecting the insertion direction, the board pressing part is assembled to the power supply board. However, the above situation can be avoided if the substrate pressing portion protrudes rearward along the insertion direction from the first positioning convex portion as in the present invention.

- the positioning structure includes a second positioning structure that positions the power supply board in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction along the insertion direction of the power supply board with respect to the relay connector. If it does in this way, the power supply board made into the non-insertion position can be positioned about the 2nd direction orthogonal to the 1st direction along the insertion direction of a power supply board.
- the second positioning structure includes a second positioning portion that is provided on the chassis side and contacts the power supply board while the power supply board moves between the non-insertion position and the insertion position. In this way, when the power supply board is moved between the non-insertion position and the insertion position, the movement operation can be guided by the second positioning portion. Thereby, a power supply board

In this way, the power supply board is positioned with respect to the chassis by the positioning structure, so that the wiring pattern formed on the chassis-side surface of the power supply board and the chip component mounted on the same surface are damaged. Can be avoided. Moreover, even when the lead of the lead component mounted on the surface of the power supply board on the side opposite to the chassis protrudes from the surface on the chassis side, the lead can be prevented from being damaged.
- a cover interposed between the chassis and the power supply board is attached to the chassis, and the positioning structure disposed on the chassis side is provided on the cover. In this way, as compared with the case where the positioning structure is directly provided on the chassis, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of the shape and arrangement of the positioning structure.
